Question

What can be observed on transferring a liquid from one vessel to another?

• A. It changes its shape, but not the volume.
• B. It changes its shape and volume.
• C. Its volume changes but the shape remains the same.
• D. No change in its shape and volume

Answer 1

The correct option is A It changes its shape, but not the volume.

Water at room temperature is found in the liquid state. When it is transferred to a different vessel, the volume of water does not change, but the shape changes. Liquids have a fixed volume, and they can acquire the shape of any vessel in which they are kept.
